    I had the same fears. I was thinking this is too d@mn easy!! I firmly agree with the 2-5 mins a day edict as that has helped me avoid any serious pool problems so far.

    Edit: Was it 3-5 mins?!

    CDO, this is just an unfortunate byproduct of comming here and beleiving that pools don't have to be expensive (to maintain) nor a nightmare, however it's easily removed - just start going to the pool store and buying everything they try to sell you (actually get 3 of everything and add it all at once, it'll speed up the process)
    Congrats on caring enough to spend the 2 -5 min/ day to protect your investment, the ease is just payback for your having good sense! - Waste

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    A pool is very easy to maintain if you have the knowledge to do it right! This forum is the place to get that knowledge!

    I have to say that without the information from you guys/gals that help out people I would be in bad shape. I am still very incompetent when it comes to pool upkeep but usually I can find an answer just from doing a search here. I want to thank everyone that shares the information and knowledge they have to people like me that don't have a clue. It gives me some confidence that things will be alright no matter what happens.

    THANKS
